About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in SALFORD, M3 6AJ. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £755, comprising £533 for heating, £178 for hot water, and £44 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
